Wild rice salad

A few weeks ago while I was shopping in Selfridges I discovered a healthy wild rice salad with low GI and a bought a big pot... Yes I ate it all the same evening. Since then I kept telling myself I have to recreate the salad as I had a pack of Canadian Riz Sauvage sitting in my cupboards but I couldn't be bothered to be honest... till last night.

I kept thinking what to do for my vegan Sunday and voila the fab salad popped in mind.

You will need

1 cup of wild rice

1/2 cup chickpeas

a few grilled artichokes ( I had a pack of char grilled artichokes in virgin olive oil in the fridge about 180gr )

a few leafs of parsley

salt and pepper

I soaked the rice and the chickpeas in separate bowls for about 2 h ( enough to take my cycling class and do some shopping) then boiled them in separate sauce pans for about 25-30 min on medium low heat. They have to be cooked but still firm.

Drain the water and let it cool in a salad bowl. When they are room temperature add the salt and pepper, the parsley and the chargrilled artichokes. For the dressing I used the olive oil from the artichokes ( about 2 tbsp) and a splash of lemon juice.

You can enjoy it on its own or as a side dish or why not as a simple salad. It's delicious, low carb, healthy and easy to make.
